Revelation 18:11-16
11“And the 1merchants of the earth 2weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo any more--
12cargo of 3gold, silver, precious 4stones, and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; every kind of citron wood, every article of ivory, and every article made from very valuable wood, 5bronze, iron, and marble;
13cinnamon, 6spice, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, and cargo of horses, carriages, 7slaves, and 8human lives.
14The fruit 9you long for has left you, and all things that were luxurious and splendid have passed away from you and people will no longer find them.
15The 10merchants of 11these things, who became rich from her, will 12stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
16saying, ‘13Woe, woe, 14the great city, she who 15was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and 16adorned with gold, precious 17stones, and pearls;
